[00:46.44]There's only one way of life
[00:48.78]And that's your own
[00:49.23]My father when I was younger
[00:49.92]Took me up on to the hill
[00:51.51]That looked down on the city smog
[00:52.26]Above the factory spill
[00:54.45]He said this is where I come
[00:57.00]When I want to be free
[00:58.95]Well he never was in his lifetime
[01:02.61]But these words stuck with me
[01:13.23]I ran from all of this
[01:13.68]And I climbed that highest hill
[01:23.79]And looked down on my life
[01:24.30]Beneath the factory spill
[01:56.70]I looked down onto my life
[02:07.35]As the family disgrace
[02:11.91]Then to all my friends on the starting line
[02:12.78]Their wages off to chase
[02:43.14]And all my friends and all their jobs
[02:46.47]And all the bloody waste
[02:46.95]CHORUS
[02:51.06]I grew up, learned to love and laugh
[02:54.39]Circled A's on the underpass
[02:56.97]But the noise we thought would never stop
[02:57.96]Died a death as the punks grew up
[03:10.95]And we choked on our dreams
[03:20.79]We wrestled with our fears
[03:21.45]Running through the heartless streets
[03:37.38]Chasing our ideas
[03:57.96]And the problems of the world
[03:58.68]Won't be solved by this guitar
[04:01.71]And they won't stop coming either
[04:02.37]By the life I've had so far
[04:03.90]And the bright lights of my home town
[04:04.59]Won't be getting any dimmer
[04:15.15]Though their calling has receded now
[04:20.58]Like some old distant singer
[04:23.07]And they don't seem so appealing
[04:23.64]To the eyes of this poor sinner
[04:26.46]CHORUS
